		</div><p>Serena Williams extended tennis’ most one-sided rivalry with her 17th consecutive victory over Maria Sharapova to reach her eighth Wimbledon final.</p>
<p>Australian and French Open champion Williams moved ever closer to the calendar grand slam by storming past Sharapova 6-2 6-4 – some 11 years after losing to her biggest foe in tennis in the final at SW19.</p>
<p>Coach Patrick Mouratoglou insisted in advance that Williams’ dominance means there “is not really a rivalry” – and the world number one vindicated that claim to book a showdown with Spain’s Garbine Muguruza.</p>
<p>Every time Sharapova fought to raise her level Williams stepped up another notch.</p>
<p>The Russian fourth seed improved in the second set but was still no match for the 33-year-old.</p>
<p>The American mustered just the single service break in the second set: it was more than enough.</p>
<p>Williams fired two aces and an unreturned serve to complete her victory, leaving Sharapova simply trailing in her wake.</p>
<p>Once the 20-time grand slam champion stops basking in the glow of blitzing the object of her long-term feud, she will set about claiming a sixth Wimbledon crown this Saturday.</p>
